Guerra Prolongada/Protracted War

"Carmen Rodriguez writes from and about exile - a displacement terrifyingly common to the past several decade, particularly for Latin Americans. But these are poems that speak to us all. For exile is more than a condition of place, of landscape. If injustice of any kind estranges us from our bodies and our hopes, we suffer a kind of exile. Carmen's poems help bring us back to ourselves."- Margaret Randall
